BackgroundWhy I started creating ad hoc dashboards to support enrollment management decision making?
Projections vs. Calculations:

Context
Show CY enrollment scenarios during Fall representing different percentages over the Chancellor’s Office CY target for the campus
and what that would look like for the coming spring.

Context
Planning upcoming CY enrollment capacity by college taking into consideration the impact of various possible spring enrollment restrictions.
These powerful dashboards were built around a very simple slider bar.
Let’s see just how simple it is!
Include “Developer” tab in ribbon
Click “Insert,” then slider icon. Then click anywhere on the spreadsheet for the slider bar to appear.
After slider appears, right click to set up the Form Control.

• Initialized a number• Specify cell to populate with number• Sets numeric range of slider
Adjusting the slider changes the value in the designated box
SUMIFSExample of using SUMIFS to add figures for categories within a date range.
Census Enrollments by Date First Registered
SUMIFS and VLOOKExample of using SUMIFS to add figures for categories within a date range
Where some categories are collapsed variables based on a lookup table
Constructing the SUMIFS code
This is done interactively:
Basically, Sum the Lower Division column in the “Data” tabfor corresponding dates in the “Data” tab that are within the two date ranges in the “Graph” tab, while selecting for records in the “Data” tab corresponding to the Admission Status label in the “Graph” tab (lookup cell). Relative cell referencing ($) facilitates copying to other cells.
